Store managers at Clackamas Town Center were let into the mall Thursday morning in preparation for reopening at 9 a.m. Friday.

According to mall workers, shop managers are meeting inside the mall this morning.

"They will probably then let everyone secure the stores," said Richelle Brodigan, the manager of Things Remembered.

Brodigan sat in her idling car, heat blasting through the vents as she waited behind six other workers. She said she will feel safe as she continues to work at the site of a shooting that killed two people, but she fears that customers will feel differently. This, she said, will affect business.

"We were shut down for two days and people will be scared to come here after this -- during Christmas season. It is going to affect business quite a bit. We were doing well before this," Brodigan said.
